Posana Featured Wine

The May Wine Feature is a petite manseng made here in North Carolina by a family-owned winery, Jones Von Drehle Vineyards and Winery!

Enjoy the results of their efforts with this smooth, tropical and robust 2016 Petite Manseng. Notice the subtle notes of bitter pineapple, star fruit and crisp acidity on the palate. This will pair wonderfully with our Spanish octopus, ricotta gnocchi or kale salad. Grab a glass or a bottle of this wine and sip away while taking in the brilliant spring time weather on our outdoor patio.

The story of Jones von Drehle Vineyards and Winery began in 2007 when in-laws Chuck & Diana Jones and Ronny & Raymond von Drehle discovered a perfect piece of land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Thurmond, NC. They created an Estate Winery, planting carefully selected varieties of grapes among the thirty acres.

Cheers!
